By numbers alone, the border region appears, as Department of Homeland Security Secretary and former Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano put it, is as "secure now as it has ever been."
* More than 646 miles of the border are protected by fence, according to Customs and Border Protection.
* More than 20,000 border patrol agents serve on the front lines -- an 80 percent increase over 2004 and the largest number in history.
* The number of illegal immigrants apprehended along the border, which CBP uses to gauge the flow of migrants, is down nearly 55 percent from 2005. The agency captured 540,865 last year.
* Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained and deported a record 387,790 unauthorized immigrants across the U.S. in 2009, and is on pace to set a new record in 2010.
* And the growing number of deportations comes as the overall size of the U.S. illegall immigrant population -- 62 percent of which hails from Mexico -- continues to decline. The U.S. unauthorized population in 2009 was 10.8 million, down from a peak of 11.8 million in 2007.

ABC is part of the White House excuse and Propaganda Office.
ABC writes this story from their news offices in NYC. Incompatano makes her statements from a office in DC with secret service protection. These bozos couldn’t find the border on a map if they had to. Until an ABC reporter type or someone “important” in the government is personally affected by the violence caused by the illegals, this will never get any real attention.
This is not a fact check. This is a few random numbers, some made up numbers and some very illogical assumptions with the conclusion that illegal immigration is not a problem. Therefore, people who think it is a problem must be either delusional or dishonest.
This is just more dishonesty from the MSM and more lies from politicians.
The sign tells it all. 20,000 border agents on the front line is a mere pittance against a massive invasion. If we really want to stop the invasion, a minimum of 100,000 is necessary.
Too many foreign nationals/invaders from all parts of the world creating balkanization pockets the U.S.A. right now.
Stop all immigration for 5 years to see where we stand and to allow all those here legitimately to assimilate.
Politicians tried for treason because they enable invasion/division: ZERO. Example #1: Divider-in-Chief
Long way to go...Americans.
It could have been all different. We could actually have rekindled pride, spirit, motivation, and self reliance, in America. The CFR, savvy but sinister, elected Clinton, Bush, and Obama.
The United States fought WW II, two fronts, one of which pretty much alone, with 187 million citizens.

BTTT!
Boy, talking about putting lipstick on a pig! Not just lipstick, but concealer, rouge, and fake eyelashes too.
One more “fact”; Ameria is the ONLY country in the entire world that is NOT allowed to enforce its borders.
